I mean Johnson sort of did say 'fuck it' and used party donor's money to do up the PM's flat (which is in no. 11 not no. 10 tbf). The Tories were fined nearly £20k by the electoral commission as a result 😅

They also posted about it in the context of having recently watched the film "Contagion" with their mum. Iirc, the "anticlimactic" comment was in relation to how the real pandemic compared to the on screen version.

It's Zack, not Jack. @zackpolanski.bsky.social

What the fuck?

This is "Paul Ryan's favourite band is Rage Against The Machine" levels of media illiteracy.

Starting production without a script, throwing out existing footage and rewriting on the fly has become the norm on big budget Hollywood movies. Stories definitely suffer as a result of these practices in both media. James Gunn recently called it out so maybe we'll see a shift.

Great thread, but definitely not a unique issue to games writing. screenplays are routinely amended while the film/show is shooting (the strict way that this is controlled is what you're really paying for when you buy Final Draft) for all sorts of arbitrary reasons often on tight turnarounds too

Love to see Scene 1 - OMITTED. Usually means some wanky intro got the chop on the page instead of in the edit. Time/money was freed up on the schedule to make the rest better AND we get to the story quicker. Makes my inner script editor happy.

Titanic Town x Title Town

But I'm really good at selecting all the squares with motorcycles in them, so I've got that going for me.

Which is nice.

...or did you...

This is the most @greatdismal.bsky.social shit I've seen in at least... 4 or 5 days

This explains why you haven't been responding to my attempts to reach you about your car's extended warranty

I 100% GET YOU. Similarly , it annoys me that all the faux NOSTROMO crew shirts have the "building better worlds" slogan on thrm, when it is implied in Aliens that it's an advertising slogan the company adopted later. The fact that this was retconned in Prometheus only enrages me further.

#FreeIsNotAnOption

The Troubles began with a protest movement that was brutally suppressed. In NI we learned that you cant win the hearts of people who see your freedom as a threat to theirs. Action on climate change has been maliciously framed as a threat to the working class. Price increases, job losses etc...

What about the Voight-Kampff test?
